The NJHL is proud to be made up of teams that carry the most Indigenous hockey players of any junior league in history. As such, we are the only league with Indigenous-specific recruiting, development, experience and advancement policies and process. The league will ensure to have meaningful representation from our indigenous communities, including advisory members of the board and a league spokesperson.
We acknowledge that we live, train and play on the traditional territories of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in Alberta & British Columbia. We express gratitude and respect for the land we use, pledge to end systemic racism, and commit to advancing reconciliation.
